With the streak of a tear, Like morning dew
First, if that is a preview of an upcoming anime, then great.
BUT, I don't like the looks of this, the ad does resemble those stills from a while back, and it now explains why it would have shots of Black Swordsman era Guts, Casca, and Puck mixed in with a shot of Zodd from volume 5. Unfortunately, it's explained in the context of these commercials, now that we see one jumping around chronologically like that. Whatever the case, this is just bad communication all around. No mention on the revamped site of an anime, as I pointed out when I was kidding about it being a prank (hopefully, it won't amount to as much). Walter and I were talking about the confusion surrounding this last night, whether the commercials had anything to do with the anime or just volume 35, and we joked about the worst case scenario: that the "new animation" was referring only to the commercials for volume 35. I still hope it's just that, a joke, but in any case, the PR campaign surrounding all this, including the new website is, quite frankly, terrible.
P.S. If you think that's being harsh, the website design is so poor it only formats to stretch to fit by width, so on my laptop, the top of the image and Berserk logo is cut off. I thought it was supposed to be that way until I minimized it, because who does such a amateur work on a professional website these days? I could design a better Berserk website! Actually, I have, years ago, in high school... not good. =)
